Generic form builders
Typeform and Google Forms are general-purpose form tools. They lack anonymity protections, audit trails, and compliance features required for whistleblower reporting.
Lantern is purpose-built for whistleblower compliance. Zero-knowledge encryption, no IP logging, conversation codes for true anonymity. EU Whistleblower Directive and SOX compliant out of the box.
Cheap but not compliant
Includes compliance, security, anonymity
